“Not a chance,” Block said of that possibility. “It's a multibillion-dollar expense and fundraising. That's (for) Chicago and other cities with multiple corporate headquarters.”

According to the New York Times, the USOC recently sent letters to the mayors of 35 U.S. cities, including Houston, Austin, Dallas and San Antonio, to determine their interest in going after the '24 Games. Block also downplayed the idea that San Antonio could team with Austin as a host.

“We'd nowhere near be able to raise that sort of money,” he said. “From a priority standpoint, we're nowhere near that. It would have to make sense strategically and economically.”

San Antonio is interested in getting at least one Olympics-related competition, however. San Antonio Sports hosted a site visit by USA Swimming representatives Wednesday as part of the city's effort to host the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials-Swimming in the Alamodome.
